I understand your motives for saying so.

I also suggest that you need to seriously trawl through the many hundreds of share price graphs for the companies listed on AIM and realise exactly the extent of carnage that goes on.

The entire AIM fiasco is a muggers paradise, geared solely towards feeding the vultures within the financial sector with multi million pound bonuses every year.

I don't deny that there may be a very small number of punters who have been fortunate, thus far, but these are seriously outnumbered by the propaganda specialists who plague these boards enticing money from unsuspecting victims.

Surely you can not deny that there are many paid plants operating on these boards desperately trying to create visions of prosperity and wonderment.

It's time to get real.

Well firstly you dont want it to drop because you bought 15k late
on today.

Matey i have posted on internet share bulletin boards for approx 10
years now, i can right a book on poster psychology !

It's just so easy to watch how a new poster writes and you quickly build
up a picture of how they operate.

As for you Power Talker it's been a lot easier than some !

Firstly you are a very short term trader, you claim to be a long term
trader, you only become a long term trader if your trade does not reach
a profit quickly.

Secondly you are quite a novice, even when it's clear a stock is going
nowhere you sometimes refuse to sell because you have a paper loss.

Thirdly you are a severe pump and dumper merchant, you buy a stock and
use the bombardment method, you start a thread and then post endless
amounts of drivel but usually make sure you avoid anything negative or
important like losses, debts and recent dilution.

Fourthly you have a blatant compulsive internet lying disorder.

This is where you know the truth but refuse to post it, you cannot bring
yourself to post anything honest, your mission is to fool the reader by
constantly posting lies hoping to suck in some buyers so you can get out
at any profit.

Your worst mistake is to go onto other threads to try and encourage other
pump and dump players (1smart/andrbea) to buy your stocks, you did this
late on today with Aql, just after you bought.

Your stance on the thread then instantly changes from serious deramping
to very positive, in the case of Aql you posted you will buy for 2p hoping
to encourage any holders to bail out but after buying back suddenly Aql is
actually a good bet.

On a fifth note for which i started the early stages of trying to report
you to the Fsa is multiple alias's, having different nicknames can be accepted,
i've had 5 in a month because you keep banning me but i'm not using these names
to ramp stocks, you have been created multiple names to create the impression
that a group of people own a stock and are extremely bullish on them when in
fact it's just one or maybe two people using more than one handle, you were
using the "Jack In The Box" handle to that effect but now since exposed you've
seen sense to stop using that name.

6. Arrogance !

Another bad habit, basically you dont care what you write, a common practice
for a pump and dumper is to take the current price and multipy it by 5 or 10
times and make that the target price, example is a share that is 1.5p, you will
be quite happy with 2p but you bombard the thread with 10p price targets very soon to create the false impression the stock is a bargain and hopefully suck
buyers in to move the price up so you can sell.

I can add plenty more if you wish.

Here's some research I have put together.
I am no expert so please feel free to correct / add to what I have found.

Jun 06 AQL buys ITS for 1.5m
Dec 06 AQL raises 2.6m on refinancing
Dec 06 AQL sells AMS for 1.275m
Jun07 VPV gives 12 month 1.5m loan

VPV is described as a 'substantial' shareholder.

Other shareholders include:
Calculus 7.1%
Singer and Freelander 11.1%
Noble Fund Managers 17.46%

I don't know how significant this is, but Noble Fund Managers are part of Noble and Company - AQL's Nominated Advisor!!!

Private shareholders are more difficult to pin down, details were given in the results, but this was well before the consolidation and may well be way out of date.

It was stated that AIRS had broken even after only 1 year - and this was before the extra business generated by the floods and referrals

Even though there are debts to be considered, the sale of ITS and the success of AIRS means that there is plenty of money sloshing around somewhere.

I was pleased when I started reading the latest announcement, but was flattened by the last paragraph which stated that the board is considering de-listing because of the cost of maintaining an AIM listing. In my opinion, this excuse is a heap of shogsdit! There is something else behind it, and whatever it is we can all be sure that we, the private investors, are the ones that are going to lose!

Would the NOMAD advise this whilst sitting on 17.46% of the shares?
Would the institutions who invested last Dec support this?

There is to be a statement later, but could all out there more knowledgeable than I please speculate as to what is going on.

A successful company doesnt delist. A company on the verge of bigger things doesnt delist. A company poised to generate cash flow doesnt delist.

Shareholders are being shafted here, why try to delude yourself that this is not the case ?

Successful companies do delist, or at least try to. SEA were stopped by non-execs in 2003 after it seemed a done deal. The company went on to generate cashflow and profit before it hit later troubles not really related to business at the time of the attempted delisting. The shares quickly rose more than 20-fold at their subsequent peak on the back of good results that came in only months later, so this says directors do attempt to delist to keep gains to themselves.





"That the Company gives notice to cancel the admission of its ordinary shares on
the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange."

The executive directors, who between them hold 21,737,466 shares (38.27% of the
Company's issued share capital) are likely to be voting in favour of the
Resolution. The executive directors have verbal indications from shareholders
representing a further 11,630,960 shares (20.48% of the Company's issued share
capital) that they are likely to vote in favour of the Resolution.




The executive directors have consulted with those shareholders who expressed
concerns about the illiquidity of their holdings following a delisting and as a
result, and with the agreement of a majority of shareholders, have decided to
withdraw the Resolution and retain the Company's AIM listing for the foreseeable
future.


Interim earnings a few months later go from -0.38p to 1.35p. They tried to take it private at less than 4p!




AQL have burnt very little cash this year and business has improved. Looks like they want to keep the profit to themselves to me.

Every time I have dropped off a sinking ship (with one exception) over the last five years the share price has continued to drop.
In quite a few instances the drop has been horrible leaving the share price a fraction of when I bailed out. I have a separate portfolio of those I sold and the the losses on that portfolio are horrendous - they encapsulate ove 40 stocks, some I made big money on before selling or top slicing but just as many were shares that suddenly announced a profits warning or a drop in profits taking them into loss situations.
The problem is with all of us that you get attached to a stock. You get to know it inside out, get to know the directors and to expect NMSs at certain times of year.
The big mistake is to stick with this familiarity for the sake of it - like an old friend who has suddenly changed into an unpleasant version of his former self.
I do understand the attraction of AQL to those of you holding it but things remain as they were over the last two to three years and I must agree with the BIGFELLA on this occason.
I really do hope that I am wrong for all of your sakes but it is interesting that having sold AQL mid afternoon and putting the cash in GNG I have already gained as much as in any period for many months with AQL as my sell-buy coincided with a continued rise in the GNG share price.
Remember what happens to AQL is irrelevent if the replacement investment does better.

Sorry to jump ship!

Well Ive been holding and adding for over two years and Im out.
I usually know when to take a loss. Just wish Id been as sensible when I originally breached my stop loss but I believed that this was going to recover.
I can see absolutely no reason now to think that it is worth a punt any more.
The results despite what some permanent optimists say above do NOT leave the door open at all for recovery.
This constant re-jigging and re-appraisal is going nowhere at all. The Board has shown no reason at all to believe things are any better now than they seemed one and two years ago.
To all those PIs who stuck with AQL along with me through thick and thin I say do yourself a favour and get out now as I have done and invest what little you get elsewhere. If you want a tip try GNG who look very cheap at the moment.
For those who are staying I wish the best of luck but I know you are in for a sticky ride and my instinct is that the share price will be in single figures at some time later this year.

The directors knew of no reason why the share price should be so low, if trade was so bad then they would know that the share price would reflect
Not so in my book so they looked for a reason and found one

As a new shareholder to this company the reason could also be large shareholders selling,but i have not had the time to explore this theory

The last set of results was released on 29 Sep 06 for the period endng 30 Jun 06, so by that measure we are due some iterim results any day now. Not that they will tell us much because they will be for the period before the reorganisation. They will, however give the directors the opportunity to issue a long-awaited trading statement which will hopefully get the share price moving in the right direction.

With the loss making division sold leaving only the profitable ones, the fund raising exercise putting money in the bank and the director shuffle injecting some enthusiasm into management the share price ought to be steadily rising as the company turns round, so why has the share price dropped around 60% in the 2 months since the reorganisation?

I have 3 possible reasons:-
1. Market makers are reducing the price to encourage trading activity.
2. The price is being manipulated downwards to facilitate a buyout
3. The company is just a festering heap of shogsdit.

If anyone out there has any better ideas - lets have 'em.

Now that is one of the most important posts we have had on this bb for a long while.
It underscores my own beliefs based on chats with people who are connected one way or another with Aquilo and who are trying to convince me that their is only good news on the way.
As I have said in my other recent posts, the total silence since the last announcements really is panicking so many small shareholders who are faced with the dreadful past history of this company particularly in relation to keeping small shareholders in the loop. They see the share price dropping again like a stone and their share valuation disappearing almost to nil. And they sell just to retrieve what they can.
Whilst frankly, people like me have hung on patiently and felt almost stupid in retaining this loyalty to a company who clearly have not deserved it.
I read what tc has said above re the need to settle with the new directors and obviously they will not want to repeat announce every few minutes. Surely though if I am reading it correctly, they have a duty to existing small shareholders to let us know what the current trading position is both to support the existing share price and more importantly to inform them that they need not panic out of the company.

I am not going to buy more shares as I held a big chunk already and have averaged down now three times in recent months. My instinct is to do so though and I would advise other shareholders strongly to follow tc's example.

Yes I also notice also that some regulars are very quiet all of a sudden.
I do find it irritating the way some people try to ramp up the price without any logic or backing behind them. I am as keen as anyone to see AQL rise in price but these pretty facile attempts are so worthless and pointless and just take up good time on these BBs that could be spent in constructive thought.
I have been accused above of being negative - I am certainly not negative but I am not the only one who gets continually irritated by these pathetic and childish attempts at ramping without anything constructive to back them up.
Those that do this know who they are and I assume that they are just a little bit simple minded. Who do they think actually takes any notice of them?
Reminds me of those High Tech days of the past - thankfully we seem to have lost a lot of those cowboys!

I pat myself on the back, having pretty much predicted the share price drop last week and levelling out and it is pretty self evident that the current price has been maintained for a few days now and is underwritten by the potential for ITS to bring in some much needed return and by the still present rumours of a takeover.
The latter potential may have receeded a little as the share price strengthened.
I still see any bid being at around 2-2.2p but if the share price rises independent of that speculation then that takeover bid will drop out of the picture alltogether. We really could do with some guidance now from the Board.
It is time that they issued up to date news referring to the impact of ITS as of today. Of course they cannot say much about the takeover. It would be good to hear about trading generally post the results.
I think they owe it to us to clear up much of the rumour especially with regard to the ITS sales and profitability factor.

My biggest regret at the moment is that I didnt follow my own advice to sell at 2p in order to buy back in now. How many times do we do that to ourselves?
